BJC Campus To Get Top Soil Monday

Boise Junior college authorities said today workmen will begin Monday hauling top soil to the old Boise airport in the first step of a landscaping and beautification program planned for the new college. The dirt will be obtained from a plot of ground outside the city limits, secured by the college for the purpose of laying a new top on the hardened field. After the top soil has been dumped, workmen will smooth it out, roll it and plant trees, grass and shrubbery. Included in the college’s plans is a nursery to be cared for by the forestry department of the school, which will supply shrubs for the new campus. Included also in the beautification program is a set of roads which will run in a horse shape around the administration building and along the banks of the Boise River. An irrigation project will be developed on the campus, and a parking space will be provided behind the administration building, which is now under construction. Contracts will be let within the next few weeks for an assembly hall. A grant of $35,000 was reported, will be matched with school funds for construction of an assembly hall. The college is being built with funds from a bond issue voted by Boise taxpayers.
